I have NO tolerance for this sort of bullshit:

"Parents need to start beating their children again"


and

"I'm sorry, but unruly, rude and undisciplined kids like that deserve to get the crap kicked out of them- be it by their parents or another kid that they mouth off to the wrong way"

If you say shit like that on my livejournal, especially after I've told you to stop talking about child-beating, the "go fuck yourself" will be the kindest thing I'll ever say to you again.  GOT IT?  There's a vast difference between spanking a kid and beating a kid.  I'm not much a fan of the spanking philosophy, but I understand that some children are more problematic than others.  A swat across the backside is sometimes the only way to get a kid's attention.  But there is NO excuse for BEATING children.  NONE.  That's child abuse.  That's VIOLENCE.  I don't want to hear that language, I don't want to hear people espousing the notion of beating children, and I especially don't want to see people supporting that behavior on my journal.

If you think beating children is a good thing... don't talk about it in front of me.  If you do, the de-friending will be swift and merciless.  And then I will quote you like this so that you and the world can see how heinous your attitudes really are.

I write about horrendous things in some of my stories.  They're FICTION.  And I never, NEVER glorify violence as a positive attribute... especially violence against the weak or the helpless.  I condemn it.  I've known victims of domestic abuse.  I've had friends who were beaten as children.  Not spanked - BEATEN.  There's no excuse for that shit.

Violence begets violence.  I've seen enough of it to know.  I don't 'want to see it on my LJ.

*wibbles a bit*

I think... I need a fic where Kirk goes off on someone who hurts a child because of his own past history of abuse. Know a fic like that? It would be satisfying right now.

I know of one with a similar plot, though I don't remember if Jim was abused as a child in that one. Lemme see if I can find it...

I'd just love to see Jim going off on someone who hurts a child (or other innocent party). It would be highly satisfying right now.

I'm still trying to stop shaking with rage.

The Ice Is Thin, Come On Dive In is the one I was thinking about. They do manage to restrain Jim, so I'm not sure it would give you the catharsis you need. It made me cry when I first read it, though.
